It Was a Scoreless First Quarter

Many of the Seahawks starters played early in the game including Russell Wilson. Oakland rested their starters in the game and opted to start with their backups. It was an uneventful first quarter as both team’s offenses sputtered through a scoreless quarter.

The Seahawks Took the Lead on a Pick-6 in the Fourth Quarter

After a quiet first three quarters, the Seahawks finally found the endzone. Ryan Robinson came up with an interception early in the fourth quarter and ran it back for a touchdown. Seattle failed to convert the two-point conversion but held their first lead of the game at 9-8.

George Atkinson Returned a Kick for a Late Touchdown for the Raiders

The Seahawks scored an additional touchdown and kicked the ball off to the Raiders with just over a minute left.
